Zac Efron doesn’t want to be that guy

If you were wondering why Zac Efron pulled out of the lead in the Footloose remake, the 1984 hit film that shot Kevin Bacon to fame, its because he didn’t want to be typecast as ‘that musical guy’.

He said: “I’m sure Footloose would have been a huge challenge…but the actors that I love and the actors that work really hard in this industry are always shaking things up, trying new genres, acquiring new skill sets. That’s what’s always going to appeal to me: the unknown.”
